Everything we acquired that night was legitimate, this is the server we play on regularly. We have gun stockpiles, and excess gear because we spend more time in game than on the forums complaining. all the vehicles and the camp you saw we got THAT night, and the "Teleporting" must have been the bicycle ride from NWAF because we were hunting vehicles for our badass camp. You were prone in the middle of OUR camp, and you're surprised you got shot? Fuckin' jokes. Hacking may be running rampant but so are crying bitches on the forums.

Logged into the server and noticed two vehicles on top of a nearby building. Not long after I arrived I hear a helicopter spinning up. Nobody can take this many shots with an AKM, nobody. Hacks at it's best. Ban this script kitty please. Time of incident: 21:15ish EST US Location: Middle of Chernogorsk

Honestly you guys cant blame us for being mad when we've lost our vehicles now for the third time and we have brought up the use of scripting/hacks or whatever you want to call it because hacks are an everyday factor for hundreds of games and nobody on this server can relate to this even if it has happened to you in the past.....we have worked hard for every vehicle that you guys took from us and you cannot blame us for being mad at the fact that this happened three times in a row so therefore we have the right to blame hacks/scripts all we want even though it may or may not be true, not only that but, as we were trying to restore what we once had the server just restarts another "coincidence" Things like this have made my team and I mad to the point where it isnt even worth finding you guys and getting are stuff back. We arent mad because we've lost our vehicles but we are mad for these supposed "coincidence's"

I have found a tent city on a server I was playing on. I was on my bicycle looking for some stashes and found a tent city :D and shit I was moist because they literaly had verything even one satchel charge hehe :) but i came in with an AKM and czech back pack and came out with a coyote pack M249 M9SD ghilie suit and a NV goggles hehe but no other vehicles :( so basically If i die i know where to go to get some gear... hopefully one day I go there and they're not there waiting to kill meh :(

Right? Like a river that ran from somewhere mid coast and ended up in the north. It would allow boats to travel north, and would have many crossings, but a few main ones that vehicles could cross. Could be a cool place for a toll booth by bandits or firefights. Allow for faster travel up north and around the coast by boat also. I know its unlikely, major map edit. But I can dream

Even if he would have run, hackers can see where all the heli crashes are, players, tents, vehicles, and then they can just teleport to you. So that wouldn't really help either, would it?

This got fixed, quite some time ago by Ander. Any vehicles/tents off the map for more than a few hours despawn. Remember to read the stickies in this section, they tell you to use the search feature, which would alleviate some of your grief if actually used.

Taking down the server gives no advantage to the admins. Yes it means that they vehicles that they have found are somewhat protected, but the server is not locked, they are not loot hunting. I routinely shut my server down at nights, the main reason being there is no admin present and I don't want the server unattended for 10-12 hours. My server is usually up well over 18 hours a day and I leave it on over the weekends (as the 2 other admins play at night then) I get that people who are displeased with servers being brought down solely to protect the admin/clan assets. However the people who want free reign during the quite hours are further south on the moral compass, they simply want to pillage unprotected bases. People pillaging my base is fine (finders keepers really) the server getting raped while I am at work or sleeping is more of an issue. I agree that this is borderline abuse, but it's not close enough for me

Please feel free to refer back to my post earlier in the thread for reasons why you will always have to rely on breaking the fourth wall to form lasting relationships in the game. The idea that you can bump into some stranger and just immediately become fast friends is ludicrous. To play with someone long term you need to know what time zone they're in, what their play schedule is like, how often they play, what their style is, whether they have other friends who play, etc. and you're going to need to plan ahead for times to play together, and keep each other up to date on your locations, especially if you play separately for a night or two, and where you parked the vehicles, and who took what from which tent, etc., etc. You really want to take care of all that over direct comms? No. "Hey here's a bandage see you later" or "Lets kill a few zombies, okay, see you around!" is the best you're ever going to get from random stranger encounters. Anything with more depth is going to rely on some out of game coordination, "4th wall breaking" or not.

Just had a teleporter hacker pull all the vehicles to a location far north of the map, killing all the people who were in them. Is there anyway to reset the locations of the vechicles prior because dragging them back one by one is annoying.

The server my team and I play on also has another team of 6-10 guys who run the server. We constantly rape them and steal their vehicles but they're prtty good about it, haven't had any issues with them kicking us. We kinda have a friendly but hostile relationship, we sometimes work with them but most of the time just shoot each other because we're not on the same TeamSpeak channel. Yesterday we had around 11 vehicles, including the chopper until it crashed, and quite a good base set up and all they had is 1-2 ATVs

It means you shouldn't abuse your admin privileges to secure vehicles. Assclown.

Looks like i've attracted scum. Two clan hijackers in my thread. By the way, we are not a clan. We are a group of survivors. We are not gang members like these clans who look to gain members and ostracise the entire DayZ community. We are here to help others. This is why we go into Cherno and Elektro and fight these so-called clans (which are mere gangs) to save the survivors from forced recruitment and murder. We let people join us temporarily. We let them loot the bandit's bodies and take anything they want. I've been told i trust people too easily but i haven't been betrayed so far with my group. Probably will happen though but trust is the rarest thing in this game. Makes it so valuable that it's the only thing i seek out of this community. Weapons, vehicles, and even helicopters are all too common and easy.

These people are clearly mad that you found their camp. I assume they haven't been playing long enough to not be attached to their gear/vehicles. I would disregard any comments they made about scripting or hacking. What you are seeing is backlash because these people thought they were being clever by hiding up in the northwest corner. They thought they were being super slick and cant come to grips with the reality that people actively search that particular area (myself included). Don't allow them to talk trash on the server admin. Hey if they don't like it offer them a 200% money back guarantee on what they paid to play on your server.

"not trading cars caus I only have two" Dude... there are very few vehicles around, and you keep two for yourself?! You only need one, so share the second one. I've spendt almost my entire game time trying to find a vehicle, not found one yet.

There isn't much difference between the two connection errors. The only thing that will affect tents and vehicles is to be sure to save them. Otherwise, they won't be there when the server starts up again. Of course, it's nice to give the users a bit of a warning before restarting it. Hope you enjoy your server, and don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions. Kiotie

Hello all, so I just rented a server from HFBServers. I just had a few questions. I would ask HFB directly, but their live chat is down. I'll just label my questions here. 1. How do I restart the server? Whenever my buddy restarted the server it would come up just saying "Session lost". When I hit the reset or stop button in the control panel it just says "No message recieved for X seconds" I know doing that will not allow the server to connect to the hive the next time. 2. If hackers get all the vehicles is there a way to completely refresh the map. Like put all vehicle spawns back to default. I know hackers are running rampart right now so I want to be preparred if the situation arises. That is all I got for now. If anymore pop up I will post them here. Thanks in advance.

ok, so i've been looking the past week for vehicles, never to find one except for some broken bus when this weekend the helicopters came out, my mates and i made some flies over the map, actually about 3 hours of flight and no vehicles still i found an awfull lot of tent camps, near obvious spots in the map like Guba or pobeda dam, also i walked around almost the whole map... just trying to state how much time i invested somehow, after checking every spawning spot fr vehicles available on dayZDB and checking every bigger encampment i could find, i didnt even find a damn bicycle i even checked the whole (!) coastline from down west from kamenka up to the north from guba, and i didnt find the motorboat (the fast one) i even checked on every island while doing that how can a boat not spawn at the coast?^^ is it just me, or are vehicle spawns bugged or still able to be saved outside of the map or something?

Recruit = "heat" dots on zombies, vehicles and even nearby players. Also all shown in regular below. Regular and below = Location shown on maps, along with unidentified players and seen vehicles nearby. Crosshairs and name tags will be on, along with 3rd Person. Veteran = none of above, unless specified by the server. Expert = no 3rd person, no crosshair, no map location, no name tags. Pretty much hardcore mode. Certain servers will say what they have enabled. Otherwise just look at the difficulty. If you want name tags and crosshairs, play on regular.If you want annoying white dots, play recruit. Just some acronyms for you to help: 3DP = 3rd Person CH = Crosshair NT = Nametags (you barely see this anymore) Look for those being "on" in server names if you want them in veteran or expert servers.

No, we frequent a low pop server and mainly at night, we have no vehicles either. :P Plus I'm fairly sure that we picked a spot so far out of the way that considering that its a low pop server with no clan control, the chances of someone with a vehicle to destroy them with, a vehicle that can traverse a forest on a hill, are pretty low. I'm crossing my fingers that they'll be back when I get off work. :P What server were you on?

Watching you at the first reminds me of a vehicle camp (no tents) that I raided that was entirely surrounded by barb wire and sandbags and I didn't have a toolbox or an entrenching tool at the time, but guess what? They had some stored in one of their trucks. It's very wise of you to not park you vehicles right by your tents as well.

TENT CAMO NET its not like the most important thing that dayz need but it would be very nice to have. (and hard to hide). ofcourse you should be able to place military camo net over it so its harder to see far away. I was thinking about the big military tents that stary sobor have, and it should take up about 5-6 slots on you and have a loot capacity like the Ural-3420. (attached files) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CAMO NET FOR VEHICLES + TENTS it could also be nice to be able to hide your vehicles with camo nets. and they should only be found at military tents and other military buildings. you should always be able to take it on and off ofcourse :P where to find it? well since its used by the military and hunters. you should be able to find different camo where you go. supermarket and other normal buildings = hunter camo net. (attached files) like this one it doesnt have to be the most important update but something fun to have in the future in this game :) please dont bite my head off :P

I've never come across even a tenth as many vehicles, both parked or currently in use, as I have on 1051. It's awesome and mystifying all at once. Over the weekend I: Stole a big blue truck from a camp that also had 2 tractors, a Gaz and a dirtbike. Lost the same big truck, Found a Gaz in the middle of Polana. Lost the same Gaz. Stole a tractor from the same place I stole the truck. Found another tractor far to the west. Shot at someone driving off in a pickup truck west of zelenogorsk. Saw three guys driving off in a big green truck from a supermarket. Found another dirtbike. Saw someone cruising a vehicle spawn location in a pickup truck. Shot at someone driving a blue van out of 'the Factory'. On other servers, all of them, combined, I found a bicycle. Once.

I want to preface this by saying that I am admin of two servers and that I have been playing DayZ since winchesters had pellet rounds. I've been playing since 1.6 or 1.5 and never encountered any serious hacking until 1.7.1.5. So like any clan, we have a base. 7 vehicles, lots of tents, some barbed wire and sandbags, all that jazz. About two weeks ago, we logged in and noticed something different. ALL the trees in the immediate area are knocked over, all tents are flattened, all vehicles are now burnt wrecks. As I'm running around my base, three satchel charges go off simultaneously and I am killed instantly. This process was repeated three times over the course of a week. Server gets restarted, destroyed vehicles respawn, we drive around, come back to base, find ALL our stuff destroyed. We get out to see if we can salvage anything from the wreckage. Almost instantly, there is automatic fire. Most of us die, and all of us that are left are blow up by satchel charges. Luckily, i was up on a hill next to our base, I see a guy running around in a ghillie. He runs up to our Ural, DOESNT check the inventory and blows it up with satchel charges. Thats where the hacking suspicion comes in. Any normal player would check a vehicle for loot, any normal player would loot my teamates bodies, any normal player would take atleast one car. But no this guy strolls along and then just logs out. His job is done, everyones dead, hes done griefing people. About a minute later, I notice lots of objects in the sky. They get closer, they look like arrows. Then they get closer, theres easily 100 of these objects between me and the farthest distance i can see. They were bombs. They explode and i die. I then get kicked from MY server. My friend goes to ban this guy in the server's R-Con. The ban option doesnt work to ban him. We try to do it manually. His information is hidden from our server logs. He was technically, never in the server. This hacking thing has gotten out of control. Admins are powerless to stop it. Its completely ruining the game. Hackers have more control than anyone else, even on Battleye "protected" servers. They're not even there to PK or play the game. They are there for the sole purpose of griefing. We cant even fight or see them. They will teleport and blow you up with satchel charges. I find this incessant trolling to be outrageous. And moreover, the information to use these hacks is readily available and its only getting worse. I'm having a hacker encounter every three hours of play. It would be every 5 mins if i spawned at my base. After the event above occurred, we shut down our server for three days and completely changed the name. Iogged in yesterday. I took out my map and looked at we're our base was. There was an "X" on the map at my bases exact coordinates. It had some text next to it. "We're back"

Exactly. I'll join a group, sure I'm friendly guys.... Then: I'll steal your vehicles... I'll look in your backpacks and take what I want... I'll throw flares around and let everyone know where you are... I'll tell another team where you are or lure you into an ambush... I'll stand in front of you when you try to kill players or zombies so you hit me instead... I'll lure you all into a shed and then stand blocking the door so you can't get out... I'll play absurdly loud music over direct chat... I'll throw smoke grenades at you luring zombies and impairing your vision... I'll throw actual grenades at you... I'll drive you into the sea in the sedan we just spent an hour fixing... I'll ask to try out your gun or request an item off of you and then not return it... I'll keep running into you in buildings until one of us breaks a leg... When we're looting together, I will grab the best stuff first and tell you "you snooze, you loose"... I'll walk you into a building and then barbed wire the front door... I'll lure 100+ zombies and run in circles around you... What you going to do? Nothing -- I'm "friendly" according to your system, aren't I? Going to add a kick function for the group leader? Cool, now it's ME who will form the group and then I will kick you and shoot you in the back. Going to add a timer on the kick function? Cool I will accidentally "lure" 100 zombies and have us all take refuge in a building then do the kick while everyone is concentrating on the chaos. Or, failing that, barb wire the doorways so no one can escape the ensuing massacre. To troll them, retard. To lure them into the perfect ambush. To lull them into a false sense of security. To make sure EVERYONE dies, not just one or two. If the "lurer" happens to die, he can come straight back to the bodies -- His friends will be guarding the site and there will be more than enough loot. If he really wanted to be a pussy, he could even log out just before they open fire or lay down and tactical roll to the side so they know who not to hit. The naivety in this thread is only trumped by the stubbern stupidity.
